The RHYTHM SOCIETY ORCHESTRA is a top shelf 16-piece dance big band specializing in true vintage swing music.

Many bands claim they play music by Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Cab Calloway, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Les Brown, Tony Bennett, etc., but the Rhythm Society Orchestra performs it the way it was recorded by those very bands. It is music performed the way it sounded when it was the pop music in the USA. We have the experience to make your event enormously successful and wonderfully memorable by all. Your guests will be dancing up a storm.

We are a complete entertainment package. Besides music sets with the big band, we offer a solo pianist or jazz combo for the cocktail hour or during dinner, pre-recorded music of your choice for that same time and/or between big band sets, a sound engineer that is attentive and always available, a wireless mic, your announcements made, advice on the evening's flow, and even the area's best swing dance instructors that can provide an ice-breaking introductory 20 minute dance lesson to your guests.

Reception halls and clients love us because we are a first class, turnkey operation. Provide us a space and we take care of the rest. Need more modern music spun between sets or afterwards? You provide the songs as we'll amplify them through our very high quality system. The band can appear in black tuxedos, white dinner jackets, black suits with straight vintage ties or even authentic period military casuals complete with authentic patches, etc., though black tuxedos are preferred by clients for receptions.

Stop by a performance and see! We have public and private engagements year 'round. The band is the preferred and recommended big band of the area's elite and fashionable reception venues: Meadowbrook Mansion, The Detroit Athletic Club, Detroit Masonic Temple, Detroit Yacht Club, etc. Let us show you why! Watch and listen to us in action! Compare our presentation and sound to any big band around and you'll see and hear the difference!
